Micah Parsons is currently recovering from a torn ACL, but the Green Bay Packers defender still took a trip to the Pro Bowl. While he couldn't participate in the game, he was certainly active in all the extracurricular shenanigans, making his way around with crutches and a motorized scooter. While he appeared to be having a ton of fun, the defender seemingly made it a business trip as well.
Throughout all the Pro Bowl activities, much was made about how much time Parsons was spending with his former Dallas Cowboys teammates. Turns out, he was trying to do some recruiting.
Cowboys veteran CeeDee Lamb appeared on the Up & Adams show on Wednesday and revealed that Parsons has spent the week trying to convince Dallas wideout George Pickens to join him in Green Bay. Lamb made sure to add that the Packers won't be getting his running mate.

CeeDee Lamb reveals Micah Parsons has been recruiting George Pickens to Packers
Pickens, coming off the best season of his career, is set to be a free agent this offseason, and Cowboys players are doing everything they can to keep him in Dallas. That's what Lamb was explaining to Kay Adams when he said everyone has been trying to recruit Pickens right in front of him, namely Parsons. He wasn't alone, though, as Lamb said Packers corner Keisean Nixon also tried recruiting the receiver.
Who could blame them?
After the season Pickens just had in Dallas, every team would love to add him to their offense. After being traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Cowboys, the veteran wideout appeared in all 17 games, catching 93 passes for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. The best season of his career came right before the first free agency of his career, and he earned his first All-Pro selection and first trip to the Pro Bowl, where players did their best recruiting.
Pickens would be a phenomenal addition for a Packers team that has multiple talented wideouts. However, it's unlikely to happen, even with Romeo Doubs potentially leaving in free agency.
That hasn't stopped Parsons and Nixon from trying to bring the star receiver to Green Bay.
